I know this is a linux forum, however i had my ps4 freeze last night, and tried a hard reboot. after the system booted up it was informing me i had to reinstall the firmware, after a couple tries i popped it out and plugged it into ubuntu hoping to format it to fat32 or ntfs to reinstall the ps4 firmware. gparted was informing of "input/output error during read on /dev/sdb"
sudo parted /dev/sdb mklabel msdos
Error: Input/output error during read on /dev/sdb
Retry/Ignore/Cancel? r
sudo mkfs -t ntfs -F -Q -L "hello world" /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb is entire device, not just one partition.
mkntfs forced anyway.
Cluster size has been automatically set to 4096 bytes.
Creating NTFS volume structures.
Error writing to /dev/sdb: Input/output error
Error writing non-resident attribute value.
add_attr_sd failed: Input/output error
Couldn't create root directory: Input/output error
Failed to fsync device /dev/sdb: Input/output error
Warning: Could not close /dev/sdb: Input/output error
is my hard drive dead? or is there still hope?
